Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices fail to automatically control the activation or deactivation of noise cancelling functions in wireless audio devices based on conditions such as AR mode, VR mode, situation, or ambient environment, leading to inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
The electronic device includes communication circuitry and processors to identify and control the noise cancelling function of wireless audio devices through communication with them, sending activation or deactivation signals based on conditions like AR or VR mode, situation, or ambient environment.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the electronic device controls activation or deactivation of noise cancelling function simply based on user input, then the control method is simple, but it is inconvenient and does not adapt to different conditions such as AR mode, VR mode, or ambient environment
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device acquires current usage information (such as whether AR/VR mode is active, ambient noise levels, audio output status) and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the noise cancelling function. The processor continuously monitors the usage state and adjusts noise cancelling activation/deactivation based on real-time conditions, creating a closed-loop control system that adapts to changing environments without requiring manual user input.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the electronic device automatically controls noise cancelling function based on conditions, then the adaptability to different conditions is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The existing usage state acquisition mechanism is extended to serve multiple functions. The same processor and sensing systems that monitor AR/VR mode status and ambient conditions are reused to control the noise cancelling function, rather than adding a separate dedicated control system. This multi-functional approach enables conditional noise cancelling control without proportionally increasing device complexity.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If noise cancelling function is always activated when audio data is output, then the noise blocking performance is improved, but it prevents users from hearing ambient sounds when needed
Solution Approach 1:
The noise cancelling function transitions from a static always-on or always-off state to a dynamic state that automatically adjusts based on real-time conditions. The processor evaluates current usage state (AR/VR mode, ambient noise level, audio output status) and dynamically activates or deactivates noise cancelling accordingly, allowing the system to provide noise blocking when needed while remaining transparent when the user needs to hear ambient sounds.

AI summary
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device comprises: a communication circuit; a memory for storing one or more computer programs; and one or more processors communicatively connected to the communication circuit and the memory. The one or more computer programs, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, may cause the electronic device to: communicate with a wireless audio device outside the electronic device through the communication circuit; identify activation or deactivation of a noise canceling function of the wireless audio device on the basis of a request for transmission of audio data to the wireless audio device; transmit a noise canceling function activation control signal and the audio data to the wireless audio device when the activation of the noise canceling function is identified; and transmit a noise canceling deactivation control signal and the audio data to the wireless audio device when the deactivation of the noise canceling function is identified.
